Note 

All  are  First  Editions  except  a  few  which  are 
specified. 

This  is,  by  far,  the  fullest  collection  of  First  Edi- 
tions, of  the  eight  authors  named,  that  has  ever  been 
sold. 

Nearly  all  the  books  are  in  good  condition  — 
much  better  than  usual  —  copy  after  copy  having 
been  disposed  of,  from  time  to  time,  as  better 
ones  have  been  obtained.  With  few  exceptions,  they 
are  in  their  original  covers.  The  present  owner, 
who  gathered  them,  believes  that  no  binding,  how- 
ever well  executed,  is  so  desirable  a  cover  for  a  book 
as  that  in  which  it  was  given  to  the  world. 

Autograph  letters  of  the  Authors  have  been  in- 
serted in  many  of  the  volumes,  and  most  of  them 
relate  to  the  books  they  now  accompany. 

A  few  holograph  manuscripts  are  included  in  the 
collection. 

The  designation  of  sizes  is  in  accordance  with  the 
scale  of  the  American  Library  Association. 

The  manuscript  of  Bryant,  which  heads  the  list, 
is  perhaps  the  earliest  of  his  that  remains;  it  has 
never  been  published.  The  "Embargo,"  1809, 
second  edition,  and  the  "Poems,"  1821,  are  scarce 
enough  to  be  mentioned  here. 

Of  Emerson,  there  are  the  "Right  Hand  of  Fel- 
lowship," 1830,  so  rare  that  few  collectors  have  ever 
seen  the  pamphlet  in  which  it  appears ;   the  "  Poems," 

vii 


Note 

1847;  '^'^*-^  ^^^^^  ''^''^  "Oversongs,"  1864.  The  com- 
plete holograph  manuscript  of  "Threnody,"  written 
in  1842,  will  doubtless  be  estimated  as  of  higher  in- 
terest than  any  other  item   in   the   whole  collection. 

The  Hawthorne  books  begin,  of  course,  with  the 
rare  "  Fanshawe,"  1828,  a  remarkable  copy;  soon 
followed  by  the  even  rarer  "  Peter  Parley's  Univer- 
sal History,"  1837,  a  recognized  Hawthorne;  **The 
Gentle  Boy,"  1839;  the  three  little  juvenile  publi- 
cations of  1 841;  and  the  highly  valued  tiny  tract, 
"The  Celestial  Railroad,"  1843.  "Mosses  from  an 
Old  Manse,"  1846,  appears  in  the  well  known  cloth 
volume,  and  also  in  two  parts  with  paper  covers,  in 
which  state  only  one  other  copy  is  known  to  exist. 

"The  Harbinger,"  1833,  is  the  first  book  of  im- 
portance in  the  Holmes  list.  The  "Poems,"  1836, 
by  no  means  a  rare  book,  but  difficult  to  obtain  in 
good  condition,  is  here  an  excellent  copy.  The 
privately  printed  pamphlet,  "The  Contagiousness  of 
Puerperal  Fever,"  1843,  ^^  almost  unknown.  The 
poem,  "In  Memory  of  Fitz-Greene  Halleck,"  1869, 
rivals  in  rarity  the  copy  of  "A  Family  Record," 
1877,  ^^^  ^^^  broadside  poem,  "James  Russell 
Lowell,"  1 89 1.  All  three  were  privately  printed 
for  the  author's  use,  and  each  bears  his  autograph 
signature.  The  insignificant  "Fair  Play,"  1875,  ^° 
scarce  that  it  is  found  in  few  collections,  is  accom- 
panied by  an  autograph  letter  by  Holmes,  which 
refers  to  the  few  lines  he  contributed  to  its  pages. 

The  Longfellow  list  begins  with  an  autograph 
letter,  1825,  by  the  poet's  father,  which  indicates 
that  Longfellow  sowed  some  wild  oats  in  his  under-

graduate  days.  The  next  item  is  **  Miscellaneous 
Poems  from  the  United  States  Literary  Gazette," 
1826,  an  uncommonly  fine  copy  of  this  scarce  little 
volume.  Then  follow  the  eight  scarce  Italian  and 
French  books,  which  were  issued  from  1830  to  1833, 
while  Longfellow  was  professor  of  modern  languages 
at  Bowdoin.  And  next  comes  **Outre-Mer,"  as 
issued  in  two  paper-covered  parts  in  1833  and  1834 
respectively — probably  the  finest  copies  of  these  ex- 
tremely rare  volumes  that  remain.  Other  Longfellow 
rarities  are  "Voices  of  the  Night,"  1839;  ** Hype- 
rion," 1839;  "Poems  on  Slavery,"  1842;  "Ballads," 
1842;  "The  Spanish  Student,"  1843;  "The  Belfry 
of  Bruges,"  1846;  "Evangeline,"  1847  —  ^^^  ^^ 
original  covers  and  all  uncut — and  the  scarce 
"Noel,"  1864,  privately  printed  for  the  author. 

Of  Lowell  there  are  fine  copies  of  the  "Class 
Poem,"  1838;  "A  Year's  Life,"  1841;  "Conversa- 
tions," 1845,  ^  presentation  copy;  "The  Biglow 
Papers,"  1848;  and  "The  Vision  of  Sir  Launfal," 
1848.  Of  the  greatest  rarity  are  the  poems  "Mason 
and  Slidell,"  a  pamphlet  printed  in  1862,  and  "II 
Pesceballo,"  of  the  same  date.  The  privately  printed 
"Commemoration  Ode,"  1865,  is  a  presentation 
copy.  The  Address  "On  Democracy,"  1884,  will 
be  found  not  only  in  the  scarce  first  edition  printed  at 
Birmingham,  but  also  in  an  earlier  proof-copy,  in 
large  type,  made  for  Lowell's  own  use,  and  with  his 
manuscript  additions  which  are  incorporated  in  the 
first  published  issue.  The  "Hob  Gobling's  Song," 
1866,  is  herein  the  original  holograph  manuscript. 
Here,  too,  is  a  copy  of  the  "Poems  of  Maria  Low-

ell,"  1^55,  ^'♦ne  of  the  rarest  books  of  American 
Poetry. 

The  little  list  of  Thoreau  books  includes  remark- 
ably tine  fresh  copies  of  **A  Week  on  the  Concord 
and  Merrimack  Rivers,"  1849,  and ''Walden,"  ^^54- 

Ox  the  books  of  Whittier  there  is  a  great  array, 
beginning  with  "Incidental  Poems"  by  the  "Rustic 
Bard,"  1828,  in  which  the  Quaker  poet  appears  in 
a  book  for  the  first  time.  The  rare  "Legends  of 
New  England,"  1831,  is  here;  and  also  the  much 
rarer  "Moll  Pitcher,"  1832;  and  "The  History  of 
Haverhill,"  1832,  identified  a  few  years  ago  as  the 
production  of  Whittier.  Of  little  "Mog  Megone," 
1836,  the  "Poems"  of  1837,  and  the  "^oems"  of 
1838,  there  are  choice  examples  in  best  "collector's 
condition." 

Another  volume,  identified  as  a  Whittier,  is  the 
"Narrative  of  James  Williams,"  1838,  a  very  fine 
copy  of  the  earliest  issue.  The  unique  copy  of 
"A  Sabbath  Scene,"  1850,  is  one  of  the  treasures  of 
the  collection.  Here,  too,  is  the  only  separate  issue 
of  "The  Song  of  the  Negro  Boatman,"  1863,  and 
Whittier's  poem  "Fitz-Greene  Halleck,"  1869,  pri- 
vately printed  for  the  author,  and  bearing  his  auto- 
graph signature.  Besides  the  Whittier  books,  there 
are  holograph  manuscripts  of  two  of  his  poems: 
"Gone,"  1844,  and  "The  Battle  Autumn  of  1862." 

The  catalogue  closes  with  the  bibliographical  vol- 
umes of  Harris,  1874,  a  privately  printed  copy; 
Leon,  1885,  on  large  paper,  unsewn  and  unopened; 
Stone,  1893,  with  the  introduction  by  Eugene  Field; 
and  Foley,  1897,  "^ost  useful  of  all,  on  large  paper.

TVilliam  Cullen  Bryant 

1 7  g4- 1878 

Bryant 

1  Manuscript  of  a  portion  of  a  very  early  unpublished  Poem, 
written  on  both  sides  of  a  sheet  of  paper,  measuring  6 1^  x  4 
inches. 

With  the  MS.  is  an  autograph  letter  of  3  pages,  signed  John  H.  Bry- 
ant, dated  January  28th,  1879,  which  gives  interesting  reminiscences 
of  his  brother,  the  Poet.  In  this  letter  he  says:  "I  do  not  know  that 
I  can  recollect  any  early  poems  that  have  not  appeared  in  print  that 
would  be  worthy  of  your  attention.  I  have  a  portion  of  one  written 
in  May,  1809,  when  he  was  at  his  Uncle's  in  North  Brookfield,  fitting 
for  College,  which  I  send  you  in  his  handwriting."  Bryant  was  in 
his  fifteenth  year  when  he  wrote  this  poem.  See  facsimile  of  the 
first  page  of  the  MS.  on  opposite  page.

Rare.  The  present  owner  has  never  seen  another  copy.  Foley  in 
"American  Authors"  gives  the  date  of  publication  as  1844,  but,  as 
stated  in  the  pamphlet,  the  lecture  is  taken  from  "The  Dial"  for 
April,  1 84 1,  so  it  seems  most  likely  that  the  first  separate  print  was  is-

This  poem  is  one  of  the  longest  written  by  Emerson  ;  no  other  of  his 
has  such  a  high  personal  interest,  and  none  has  higher  poetical  value. 
Manuscripts  of  Emerson  are  extremely  rare,  and  another  opportunity 
to  secure  such  a  treasure  is  not  likely  to  occur  soon  again.  On  page  6 
is  a  facsimile  of  the  first  verse  of  the  poem.

copy  in  his  own  hand,  however,  were  in  the  paquet  and  I  send  you  the

A    FAMILY    RECORD 


WOODSTOCK,  CONNECTICUT, 

July    4TH,     iSj-]. 

Not  to  myself  this  breath  of  vesper  song, 
Not  to  these  patient  friends,  this  kindly  throng, 
Not  to  this  hallowed  morning,  though  it  be 
Our  summer  Christmas,  Freedom's  jubilee. 
When  every  summit,  topmast,  steeple,  tower. 
That  owns  her  empire  spreads  her  starry  flower, 
Its  blood-streaked  leaves  in  heaven's  benignant  dew 
Washed  clean  from  every  crimson  stain  they  knew — 
No,  not  to  these  the  passing  thrills  belong 
That  steal  my  breath  to  hush  themselves  with  song. 

These  moments  all  are  memory's  ;  I  have  come 
To  speak  with  lips  that  rather  should  be  dumb ; 
For  what  are  words  ?     At  every  step  I  tread 
The  dust  that  wore  the  footprints  of  the  dead 
But  for  whose  life  my  life  had  never  known 
This  faded  vesture  which  it  calls  its  own.

Inserted  is  an  autograph  letter  of  three  pages,  dated  Beacon  street, 
November  13th,  1871,  signed  O.  W.  Holmes,  one  paragraph  of  which 
begins  as  follows:  "  Homceopathy  is  a  business  I  have  pretty  much 
done  quarrelling,  but  I  will  confess  sotfo  voce  to  yourself  that  I  feel  so 
ashamed  of  the  human  intellect  when  I  hear  of  educated  men  as  prac- 
tising it,  that  I  not  only  am  ready  to  believe  that  we  come  from

Privately  printed.  A  printed  note  on  the  first  page  states,  "These 
verses  were  read  at  a  medical  supper  party  about  the  year  1845." 
Although  doubtless  printed  at  a  much  later  date,  this  pamphlet,  in  the 
absence  of  definite  information  of  the  time  of  issue,  is  here  catalogued 
as  it  would  have  been  if  printed  in  1845.  Very  rare.  This  is  the 
only  copy  ever  offered  at  auction.      Enclosed  in  a  cloth  case.

the  engraved  title  and  the  rubricated  title.     Illustrated.     i2mo, 

original  cloth.  Boston,  1858. 

An  uncommonly  fine  copy  of  the  first  issue  of  the  first  edition.  In- 
serted between  the  pages  (i  10  and  1 1 1)  of  the  printed  poem  is  averse 
in  the  autograph  of  the  author,  as  follows: 

"Build  thee  more  stately  mansions,  O  my  soul. 
As  the  swift  seasons  roll ! 
Leave  thy  low-vaulted  past ! 
Let  each  new  temple,  nobler  than  the  last, 
Shut  thee  from  heaven  with  a  dome  more  vast. 

Till  thou  at  last  art  free, 
Leaving  thine  outgrown  shell  by  life's  unresting  sea ! 
1858-1892.      [Signed]  Oliver  Wendell  Holmes.     Boston,  March  23d,

214  The  Autocrat  of  the  Breakfast-Table.  With  the  half-title 
and  the  rubricated  title.      Illustrated.     i2mo,  original  cloth. 

Boston,  1858. 

There  were  two  issues  prior  to  the  publication  of  the  second  edition 
(which  has  the  words  "second  edition  "on  the  title-page).  This  copy 
is  believed  to  be  the  later  of  these  first  two  issues  because  in  size,  in 
the  color  and  the  quality  of  the  paper,  and  in  the  style  of  the  cloth 
covers  it  resembles  the  second  edition,  which  also  lacks  the  engraved 
title.  The  first  issue  of  the  first  edition  differs  from  the  second  edi- 
tion in  all  these  particulars. 

Inserted  is  an  autograph  letter  of  three  pages  dated  Beacon  street, 
August  4  [1874],  signed  O.  W.  Holmes,  in  which  reference  is  made 
to  "The  Autocrat  of  the  Breakfast-Table"  and  also  to  "The  Poet  at 
the  Breakfast-Table,"  which  at  the  date  of  the  letter  was  almost  ready 
for  the  printer.

in  the  autograph  of  the  author,  as  follows : 

"Her  hands  are  cold,  her  face  is  white. 

No  more  her  pulses  come  and  go. 
Her  eyes  are  shut  to  life  and  light. 

Fold  the  white  vesture,  snow  on  snow, 

And  lay  her  where  the  violets  blow. 
But  not  beneath  a  graven  stone 

To  plead  for  tears  with  ahen  eyes; 
A  slender  cross  of  wood  alone 

Shall  say  that  here  a  maiden  lies 

In  peace  beneath  the  peaceful  skies. 
If  any,  born  of  kindlier  blood, 

Should  ask,  What  maiden  lies  below? 
Say  only  this:   A  tender  bud 

That  tried  to  blossom  in  the  snow 

Lies  withered  where  the  violets  blow. 

From    'Under   the   Violets.'      [Signed]    Oliver   Wendell    Holmes.

'Visions,'  etc.,  to  be  examined  by  me  and  subject  to  my  decision  as  to 
whether  or  not  it  should  be  published.  I  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that  I 
think  it  calculated  to  interest  the  public  and  deserving  of  being  made 
known  to  them.  I  am  willing  to  look  over  all  the  proofs  and  to  write 
an  introduction  short  or  long  as  I  may  think  best,  but  explaining  the 
circumstances — very  interesting  and  exceptional  —  under  which  the 
essay  was  written.     The  manuscript  consists  of  six  hundred  pages."

Longfellow 

354  Autograph  Letter  of  3  quarto  pages  written  by  Stephen  Long- 
fellow, the  father  of  the  Poet,  to  Professor  Cleaveland  of  Bowdoin 
College,  dated  January  19,  1825.  Longfellow  was  an  under- 
graduate of  Bowdoin  at  the  time  this  letter  was  written.  The  por- 
tion of  the  letter  that  refers  to  Longfellow  is  quoted  below. 

"Dear  Sir:  I  lament  extremely  that  my  son  should  have  been  so 
regardless  of  his  character,  and  inattentive  to  his  duties,  as  to  require 
the  punishment  which  has  been  inflicted  on  him.  Having  warned 
him  most  earnestly  &  affectionately  of  the  danger  of  the  course  he 
was  pursuing,  I  had  indulged  a  hope  that  reformation  would  have  been 
produced,  and  that  he  would  have  more  wisely  improved  his  time 
and  advantages.  But  in  this  I  have  been  most  sadly  disappointed. 
Still  I  cherish  the  hope  that  his  suspension  may  have  a  salutary  effect 
on  him,  and  that,  by  diligence,  he  may  redeem  some  of  the  time, 
which  has  been  so  shamefully  misspent.  Perhaps  I  am  influenced  too 
much  by  parental  affection,  but  with  all  his  errors,  I  think  he  has  tal- 
ents, and  an  amiable  disposition ;  and  I  most  earnestly  hope  that  he 
may  be  reclaimed.  I  shall  do  all  in  my  power  to  effect  this  desirable 
object,  and  I  must  look  to  the  Government  of  College  for  aid  in  its 
accomplishment.  It  has  been  &  still  is  a  subject  of  the  deepest 
solicitude  with  me,  and  I  have  not  failed  to  give  him,  from  time  to 
time,  those  parental  admonitions,  which  his  situation  seemed  to  re- 
quire. But  we  are  doomed,  in  this  life,  to  grevious  disappointments, 
&  this  is  one  of  my  severest  afflictions.  As  he  had  been  constantly 
furnished  with  money  to  pay  his  bills,  I  am  quite  unable  to  conjec- 
ture the  purpose  for  which  he  wanted  that,  which  he  borrowed  of  you, 
but  I  am  much  obliged  by  your  kindness  in  advancing  it,  &  now  en- 
close you  the  amount,  in  a  five  &  ten  dollar  bill  of  the  United 
States  Bank."

fellow, were  retained  in  subsequent  editions  of  his  poems.  The  auto- 
graph of  Caroline  Eliza  Harrod  appears  on  the  fly-leaf,  with  date 
"Feby  i8th,  1826,"  on  the  leaf  with  "Advertisement,"  and  on  the 
leaf  with  "Table  of  Contents."  On  the  reverse  of  "Advertisement" 
leaf,  which  is  otherwise  blank,  are  several  quotations  in  the  same 
handwriting  as  the  autograph  and  a  few  lines  in  another  handwriting.

417  The  Hanging  of  the  Crane.    With  illustrations.     i6mo,  orig-

This  poem  first  appeared  in  the  New  York  Ledger,  published  by 
Robert  Bonner.  Inserted  in  the  volume  are  two  letters  to  James  R. 
Osgood,  both  of  which  refer  to  this  poem.  One,  dated  Cambridge, 
March  20,  1874,  signed  H.  W.  L.,  states  at  the  close:  "Bonner  has 
published  the  poem";  the  other,  dated  Nahant,  Aug.  6,  1874,  is  in 
part  as  follows:  "I  see  no  possible  objection  to  announcing  the  new 
poem,  without  naming  the  title.  I  do  not  think  Mr.  Bonner  could 
take  umbrage  at  that.  Still,  as  he  may  be  sensitive  and  tenacious  on 
this  point,  I  wish  you  would  send  him  a  proof-sheet  of  your  Announce- 
ment, and  ask  him  whether  he  objects.  That  would  be  courteous. 
If  he  should  object,  it  would  be  better  to  say  nothing  about  the  mat- 
ter. This  is  the  light  in  which  I  see  the  matter  at  first  thought  of  it. 
[Signed]  Yours  truly,  H.  W.  L."

the  worn-out  farms  of  Massachusetts  and  making  them  pro- 
ductive again  by  the  same  virtues  of  industry  and  thrift 
that  once  made  them  profitable  to  the  Fnghsh  ancestors 
of  the  men  who  are  deserting  them.  To  have  achieved 
even  these  prosaic  results  (if  you  choose  to  call  them  so), 
and  that  out  of  materials  the  most  discordant,  I  might  say 
the  most  recalcitrant,  argues  a  certain  beneficent  virtue  in 
the  SNStem  that  could  do  it,  and  is  not  be  accounted  for 
by  mere  luck.  Carlyle  said  scornfully  that  America  meant 
only  roast  turkey  every  day  for  everybody  He  forgot 
that  States,  as  Bacon  said  of  wars,  go  on  their  bellies. 

As  for  the  security  of  property,  it  should  be  tolerably 
well  assured  in  a  country  where  every  other  man  hopes  to 
be  rich,  even  though  the  only  property  qualification  be  the 
ownership  of  two  hands  that  add  to  the  general  wealth  Is 
it  not  the  best  security  for  anything  to  interest  the  largest 
possible  number  of  persons  in  its  preservation  and  the 
smallest  in  its  division?  In  point  of  fact  far-seeing  men 
count  the  increasing  power  of  wealth  and  its  combinations 
as  one  of  the  chief  dangers  with  which  the  institutions  of 
the  United  States  are  threatened  in  the  not  distant  future. 
The  right  of  individual  property  is  no  doubt  the  very  corner- 
stone of  civilisation  as  hitherto  understood,  but  I  am  a 
little  impatient  of  being  told  that  property  is  entitled  to 
exceptional  consideration  because  it  bears  all  the  burthens 
of  the  State  It  bears  those  indeed  which  can  most  easily 
be  borne,  but  poverty  pays  with  its  person  the  chief 
expenses  of  war,  pestilence,  and  famine.  Wealth  should 
not  forget  this,  for  Poverty  is  beginning  to  think  of  it  now    p  .

ADVERTISEMENT. 

The  subscriber  proposes  to  publish  a  history  of  Haverhill,  from  its 
first  settlement  in  1640  to  the  present  time.  .  .  .  He  trusts  that  the 
citizens  of  his  native  town  will  approve  of  this  proposal,  and  he  pledges 
himself  that  no  pains  on  his  part  will  be  spared  to  render  the  work 
worthy  of  their  acceptance.  .  .  .  The  price  will  be  87  1-2  cents  in  case 
the  number  of  pages  does  not  exceed  two  hundred ;  if,  however,  the 
material  of  history  should  swell  the  volume  beyond  this  number  of 
pages,  the  price  will  be  $1.00.  John  G.  Whittier,

means  simply  'go  between  us.'     If  not  too  late,  pray  let  them  read 
thus: 

'  I  know  not.  Time  and  Space  so  intervene, 
Whether  still  waiting,  with  a  trust  serene, 
Thou  bearest  up  thy  fourscore  years  &  ten, 
Or,  called  at  last,  art  now  Heaven's  citizen.' 
I  am  ashamed  of  my  habit  of  troubling  thee  with  such  matters.     I 
presume  on  thy  patience,  which  exceeds  Job's.     What  if  Satan  had 
made   the  old  patriarch  a  publisher,  at  the  mercy  of  importunate 
authors,  male  and  female?  Thine  ever,    J.  G.  W."

"Amesbury,  Tuesday  Evg. 

Dear  Fields:  I  sent  back  the  proof  of  'Among  the  Hills'  yesterday 
with  a  few  changes.  It  now  occurs  to  me  that  it  might  be  well  to  omit 
the  '  Summer  Idyl '  in  the  title,  as  I  may  sometime  give  something 
better  entitled  to  the  name.    But  it  is  perhaps  too  late  now."

The  proofs  arrived  safely.  Looking  over  them,  the  beauty  of  the

In  those  of  'Cobbler  Keezar,'  'Wreck  of  Rivermouth,'  'The  Play-

iar from  boyhood,  &  which  I  have  endeavored  to  associate  in  the

"Amesbury,  11  mo.  17th  [1874], 
My  dear  frd.:   I  send  back  the  proof  with  some  changes,  I  think
